Notes
If you omit peanut butter, I wouldn't add a splash of milk otherwise the smoothie could end up too thin.
You are welcome to add more or less carrot based on personal taste preferences.
For spices, start with the lesser amount, taste after the smoothie has been blended, and then add more if desired.
